tpmdd

  • tpmdd provides the Linux kernel driver for the TPM.
  • Many kernels include the driver. Look for drivers/char/tpm.
  • The Sourceforge version may have more or newer drivers. In particular, it has the driver for a generic TPM v1.2 chip, tpm_tsc.
  • My Dell Optiplex GX620 has a ST Microelectronics Trusted Platform Module (TPM) Ver. 1.2.
  • Mandriva Linux mainline kernel modules do not support the ST Micro TPM. There is a generic TPM 1.2 driver tpm_tsc in the CVS for tpmdd.
